Embodiment Construction

[0017] Embodiments of the invention will refer to Figures 1 to 4 Describe in detail.

[0018] The lock detecting connector of the present embodiment includes a male connector housing 10 and a female connector housing 20, which can be fitted together; locking means for locking the connector housings 10 and 20 in a correct fitting position; It is used to detect whether the locking by the locking device is effective.

[0019] The locking means includes a locking protrusion 12 formed on the cover member 11 of the male connector housing 10 , and a locking arm 21 formed on the female connector housing 20 . When the connector housings 10 and 20 are properly fitted together, the locking arm 21 is engaged with the locking protrusion 12, thereby locking the connector housings 10 and 20 together. In addition, when the connector housings 10, 20 are partially fitted together, the lock arm 21 is in contact with the lower end surface of the lock protrusion 12, and is bent downward.

Abstract

A contact face 16 of a rib 15 is arranged to be inclined downwards with respect to the fitting direction of connector housings 10,20. Detecting terminal fittings 14 make contact with the contact face 16 and are resiliently bent in a predetermined manner. If the rib 15 should be bent away from the detecting terminal fittings 14, the detecting terminal fittings 14 follow due to their inherent resilience and thereby maintain contact with the contact face 16.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lock detection connector capable of detecting a locked state of a pair of connector housings. Background technique [0002] of this manual Figure 5 A conventional lock detection connector is shown, which includes a male connector housing 1 and a female connector housing 5 . The male connector housing 1 has a pair of long and thin detection terminal fittings 3 protruding into the housing 2, and the detection terminal fittings 3 are arranged horizontally with each other. The suspension rib 4 extends along the upper surface of the detection terminal fitting. In addition, the female connector housing 5 has a pair of short-circuited terminal fittings 6 including elastic contacts 6A. [0003] When both the connector housings 1 and 5 are properly fitted together, the elastic contact piece 6A comes into contact with the detection terminal fitting 3 . The correct mounting position is detected by short-circuiting the two de...
